Well, after discussing it wth our weather planner, we are leaving at 4:00 am tomorrow morning. Irene's poistion should give us a beam reach that will take us to either Long Island, NY or Cape May, NJ in 3-4 days. They feel it will be our best chance to make miles and following the eastern side of the low will give us the best conditions. Depending on the height of the surge, the extra tidal current will also provide a faster crossing. The fact that Irene is ging ashore in the mid-Atlantic is what is making this possible. Wish us luck and we'll talk to you on the other side.
Most people who know me, Roy, probably think I am crazy enough to try this. We are just kidding. We have a marina picked out to ride out the storm. You have our assurances that fresh water is in our tanks.
Our prayers go out to those who are in the path of Irene.
That was a good joke with the above statement. It didn't sound right, but Capt. Roy would make it work if he had to. As long as you don't duplicate the movie. "The Perfect Storm"., all will work out! Take care, Nervous Norbert
